Question 5) How did you attract/address your audience?

LUKE 17‘I was attracted to the main artist throughout the magazine because she is the same age as the target audience. Also the poses made the magazine look exciting and mysterious. The costumes also linked to the genre.’

SIMONE 16‘The colours and fonts attracted to my to the magazine as they suited the rap/pop genre and were very bold and eye-catching.’

BELLA 18‘I was attracted to the strong exciting language such as ‘How Lil K made it’ This links to the young audience as they will want to follow in her footsteps’

ANTH 17‘The strong images attracted me to the magazine as there are a range of positions/ facial expressions and people my image will initially look at the images.’

These fit into my audience because there is an equal amount of male and female audience members and they are at the correct age because my primary audience is 16-24 audience code D as my magazine is mainly aimed at students.

• WHAT DRAWS YOUR ATTENTION TO THE PRODUCT?Simone- ‘’ There was a range of features that drew me to this magazine such as the attitude of the model. The girl is

laughing, looking mysterious, looking at the camera and then at the text. She is the same age as me so I felt like I had a link with her. When is looking straight at the audience on the front cover it made the magazine feel more personal and when she was looking at the text it drew more attention to the article.

WHAT GENRE IS IT AND HOW DO YOU KNOW?Luke- You can tell that the genre of the magazine is rap/pop due to the house style used throughout the magazine. Red,

black and white are popular colours used on a rap/pop magazine and the fonts were very bold which also links to the genre. The language was very dramatic ‘Exclusive’ which made me feel like the magazine was important.

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER THE STRENGTHS ARE ABOUT THE PRODUCT?Bella- The strengths about Clique magazine would be that the same style is set out throughout the magazine. The front

cover has dark backgrounds with light text and this is set throughout the magazine. For a magazine to be popular the writer needs to know what style they want to represent and the edgy, bold style has been represented by Clique magazine.

WOULD YOU PURCHASE THE PRODUCT AND WHY?Anth- I would purchase this product because Lil K the artist in this edition is a new rap/pop artist which shows Clique can

feature upcoming artists which me and the young target audience will be interested in because it is new music.

HOW WOULD YOU IMPROVE THE PRODUCT?Simone- I would improve the product by having the front cover and double page spread a bit lighter to make them stand

out more. The dark background does link to the genre however a lighter colour would as well.

I asked my audience…

On my front cover I included the social media logos. I did this so the target audience would visit the websites and get more interested in my magazine. I knew this would be successful because teenagers/young adults are highly interested in technology. Also the bold headings and titles make the front cover attractive which will draw attention to what will be in the magazine. The heading ‘The new fresh trend’ also attracts to my audience as they will want to be up to date with their favourite genre.

How did I modify my product in order to meet my target audience?

On my contents page I used the sections and bold headings to meet my target audience because they will be interested in ‘features’ ‘news’ and ‘reviews’ because in my questionnaire these were popular. This is because my young target audience will like to keep updated on there music genre. The bold heading ‘This week’ also supports this because it shows there is new features every week.

My double page spread meets my target audience by the use of headings, and sub images. The target audience can see a range of visual aspects from the artist therefore will get more interested. ‘You get no where in life being boring’, this type of language also meets my audience because they will have the same beliefs and be more interested in reading an article that they agree about.
